Reply #35: My son was a computer operator/signal tech [View All]

but he was trained on a 50 calibur machine gun...just in case. YIKES!!!!
They train a lot of people on this and that, as 'back up'.
They went out to fix/test signal wires? and he was not allowed to go out normally
because they didn't have armored vehicles and they couldn't afford to 'lose' him!
But he did manage to go out on a few occasions. He didn't want to tell me that.
He knew I would freak out! He knows me well! ;)

He didn't go out on a 'humanitarian action'...he just went and decided to bring
all the shit our family had sent to him!
He gave away his Christmas and other gifts to the kids there.
He made a point of bringing the extra food with him, when he got the chance to go.
That's all.

He did what he could while he was there and he got the fuck out of there
when they told him it was time to go!
That's all.
